  • Since the children are now allowed to borrow books from the library, they need to remember to bring the book back to school on Wednesdays so they are able to get another book. If you do not bring your book back you will not be allowed to take out another book until you bring it back.
  • If you are interested in helping out during work board (Mon-Thur 10:05-10:55) we would love to have a parent come in and help out. If you can commit weekly or just once, both are greatly appreciated! Please send us an email if you are interested.

  • We had an assembly where famous artist Rob Surette performed his "Amazing Art Hero" act. Rob is from Arlington and does amazing art! Rob was featured on Oprah, The Today show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Good Morning America, NBC Evening News and Chronicle. We saw him paint a huge portrait of Abraham Lincoln, Mother Theresa, and he painted a portrait of Martin Luther King Jr, upside down, with his bare hands! Check out his website to see his amazing work!

  • Check out our "Wishlist" page for things you can donate to the class, that you may already have lying around at home.
  • If your child is not getting picked up by the person that was written down on the pick-up chart in September (or if they normally are supposed to go to Mrs. T's that day) please write us a note (as well as Mrs. T a note if your child normally goes to Mrs. T's on those days) in the yellow "Parent-Teacher Communication Book" that should be kept in the folder. (If your child is having a playdate and is being picked up by another childs parent- please write us a note as well.) If you write a note we ask that you just leave the book open so we know to check it. Thanks!
